[QUOTE="brown67, post: 2812877, member: 5457"] I was going between packages and feeders at the time. I was a classified as a package car driver, but would cover vacations for the three feeder drivers at our center. I'm a a full time feeder driver now. The package driver side wasn't bad. The center would need to layoff 2 or 3 drivers a week, and would ask for volunteers first. Most weeks they got enough volunteers. We had about 70 to 75 drivers then. We didnt hire any new drivers for several years. Feeders was another story. The hub laid off about 20% of the feeder drivers and cut eveyone else to 8 hours a day. A few guys lost their houses without the extra over time pay. Most feeder drivers work 50 to 60 hours a week, so only 40 hours was a bite. [/QUOTE]
